I can spell Syncaestraea better than Peter

We jump to the ritzy lovely NC port, in line with hundreds and thousands of other ships. A single bead of sweat is visible on Peter's face as he navigates the parking lot. Klaxon rings at one point when Peter has slipped out of the lane. The spanish bureaucracy is fully automated and functions like a beauty. Its very nice, reminiscent of Luna, but not run by a dictatorship
 
Benat responds to a text on his Nokia. He tells us that if he goes to Wahaka he can let Arkip bunk with the rents. Benat is invited to dinner by a recently promoted Admiral Ianara. party is on the moon Al Bracht.
 
"If you know one thing about me... I love a Soiree"
 
We spend the two days required to clean out the cargo hold of cat litter.
 
The dress I chose for this evening was referred to as a "Shamwow" by Benat. of course. There are only two other guests at the table. We are kissed politely as greeting, which does startle Lucid moderately.
 
Peter starts talking about "Journay to the West" and Nova Calvinism and Soddom and Gomorrah.
 
"I was always worried about getting left behind next Friday.
 
Captain Dora begins to hint at offering a job. shes a partyina ai placed inside of a robot and asks her very probing questions about nerves and strain.
 
Lucid is very happy to munch on churros.
 
 
Lucid learns Benat's last name for the first time. This is going to be related to a dude from his past. there is a civil war that syncestraea is not supposed to involve themselves in. the planet the civil war has occured on has closed their ports to synceaestraea. Galval has a mole placed among the syncaestraeans that requires the use of us outsiders.
 
Lucid also lands the phone number of Dora's robot body guy. we are also offered help acquiring a letter of Mark, or the opportunity to join the galactic mercenary guild.
 
They want us to kill that guy. Dora also passes over a cool plasma rifle as hand gun.
 
After negotiations are complete, the dinner lasts another 3 or so hours, exchanging stories and drinking coffee nd beer
 
then we go meet Benat's family, and Lucid gets to pet the space cow Elisabeta, she is very soft and lovely.
